About the Book

Hollywood calls it the "shoot out"... the point during the making of a movie when star-fits and power struggles turn into standoffs, walk-outs, and clashing egos. How a film ever gets made is a wonder. Leave it to two industry icons to unreel the true story...

About the Author :
Peter Bart, editor-in-chief of Variety and Daily Variety, has been a reporter for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He has played key roles in developing and supervising such films as Rosemary’s Baby, True Grit, The Godfather, Paper Moon, and Harold and Maude. He served as vice president for production at Paramount, senior vice president at MGM, and president of Lorimar Films. He is the author of several books, including Who Killed Hollywood? and Fade Out. Peter Guber, the founder and head of Mandalay Entertainment, has served in a variety of key executive posts, ranging from head of production at Columbia Pictures to president of Sony Entertainment. He has been associated with many award-winning and successful films, including The Deep, Midnight Express, Rain Man, Batman, and Enemy at the Gates. He has been a faculty member at the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television for more than twenty years, where he established and teaches, with Peter Bart, a graduate course in the Independent Film and Television Producers program.

Review :
"A blistering report from the front lines. Only a devoted masochist would want to enter the movie business after reading Shoot Out." "A survival guide to the Hollywood wasteland." "Bart and Guber...have plenty of juicy tidbits to share." "For anyone who follows the movie business in all its psychotic glory, the prospect of reading a book by Peter Bart and Peter Guber is undeniably delicious." "Hilarious...Bart and Guber combine their more than thirty years' experience in a tour of this wild, wacky, volatile industry." "The best book I have read about the movie industry."
